A statement from the association said she first alerted its board of directors in February that she would not seek a renewal of her contract.

Susan Poag, The Times-Picayune archiveAndrea Thomas-Reynolds, chief executive office of the Algiers Charter Schools Association since 2009, is leaving her post at the end of June.

Since then, Thomas-Reynolds and members of the board of trustees have been working on a transition plan, although the statement provided no details about who will helm the eight-school cluster in 2012-13.

The announcement touted test score growth during the Thomas-Reynolds administration, her efforts to arrange new facilities or major renovations for the schools and her creation of a symposium that introduces Algiers educators to academic movements across the country and internationally.

"Based upon these accomplishments, my original assignment at ACSA is largely complete," Thomas-Reynolds wrote. "As an organization, the ACSA should be proud of the impact it has had on public education. It has been a pleasure to work for the ACSA Board of Trustees and to have played a role in the nationally-recognized school reform efforts taking place in New Orleans."
